clear the rear window of thin ice
and fog.
²A small LED will illuminate when
the rear defroster is activated.

CABIN AIR FILTER
Your vehicle is equipped with a cabin air filter. The cabin air filter

located just in front of the windshield under the cowl vent screen on the
passenger side of the vehicle.
For more information, or to replace the filter, see your Ford, Lincoln or
Mercury Dealer.
